CTIL FILES #1: US AND UK MILITARY CONTRACTORS CREATED SWEEPING PLAN FOR GLOBAL CENSORSHIP IN 2018, NEW DOCUMENTS SHOW
Sonar 21 ^ | 30 Dec 23 | Larry Johnson

Michael Shellenberger, Alex Gutentag and Matt Taibbi produced a blockbuster report on November 28 that I neglected to cover at the time. My bad. The report exposes a genuine conspiracy — i.e., the Censorship Industrial Complex aka CIC. It is not a theory. It is a fact. This blog posting carries the title of their piece. Here is the introductory paragraph:

A whistleblower has come forward with an explosive new trove of documents, rivaling or exceeding the Twiter Files and Facebook Files in scale and importance. They describe the actvities of an “anti-disinformation” group called the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, or CTIL, that officially began as the volunteer project of data scientists and defense and intelligence veterans but whose tactics over time appear to have been absorbed into multiple official projects, including those of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The CTI League documents offer the missing link answers to key questions not addressed in the Twiter Files and Facebook Files. Combined, they offer a comprehensive picture of the birth of the “anti-disinformation” sector, or what we have called the Censorship Industrial Complex. There is an active partnership between the U.S. Government’s security and intelligence agencies and the private sector that is engaged in information warfare against the American people. Michael Shellenberger provided a succinct explanation of this conspiracy in his written testimony to the U.S. Congress (you can read it at his new substack site, PUBLIC).

A highly-organized network of U.S. government agencies and government contractors has been creating blacklists and pressuring social media companies to censor Americans, often without them knowing it.

We and others have already reported on some of the actions of this complex, including its disinformation campaigns. But the extent of its censorship was unknown to us until very recently. And, as importantly, we now understand the ways in which this complex simultaneously spreads disinformation and demands censorship. The CIC is the mechanism that this combination of private and public entities are using to fabricate lies about a whole host of issues, such as the war in Ukraine, Donald Trump inciting an insurrection and Israel fighting terrorists who behead babies.

As you celebrate the New Year please take some time to read the article (click here).

Nothing new here, but worth acknowledging- our corrupted government is outright lying and deceiving Americans.

Particularly enraging is our US taxpayers money is funding the deception of Americans…..this must stop, by any means possible.

They are pulling out all stops in their efforts to shut down free speech and install authoritarian dictates. What’s also very concerning is that WHO treaty they are trying to pass in May. It would give WHO the power to override a country’s constitution, force vaccines and gene therapy on populations, and restrict medical freedoms by preventing the use of things like ivermectin. People better wake up.

Nothing will be stopped until some of these criminals - and that is exactly what they are - end up in jail. There are no consequences up to this point, and if no one is willing to step up, then it will continue and worsen.

“People better wake up.”

Some people actually are awake, and have been all along. The question is... will that be ‘enough’ people. Only time will tell.

The criminals currently in charge and control of running and ruining America are not going to jail their own guys. If you will notice, the only ones being imprisoned are their opposition. It’s how Marxists roll. A constant in the universe. According to past history... there is only one way to stop them.

It looks to me like “Prepping the battlefield”. This is what a military does before invasion and war. Simply put, this is proof that they are going to “go all in” against their own people.

First you blanket a nation with propaganda, misdirection plays, get your needed supply line in place and secure, move troops then go.

Troops have not be mobilized, or have they?

Like the Sonar21 site which promotes fear, uncertainty and distortion.

And they started a fun little war in the Ukraine in order to distract and divide domestic opposition here at home. The idiotic, barking seals we call Zeepers are Biden’s little foot soldiers and paper hangers sowing discord, division and lies.

When this all shakes out and if America becomes a constitutional republic again, the architects of the Ukraine war should be sent to the Ukraine for trial.

The US military, colluding with Brits, to attack the most fundamental right of Americans.

Disgusting.

I had to laugh at this statement:

“A study of the antecedents to these events lead us to the realization that there’s something off kilter with our information landscape,” wrote Terp and her co-authors. “The usual useful idiots and fifth columnists—now augmented by automated bots, cyborgs and human trolls—are busily engineering public opinion, stoking up outrage, sowing doubt and chipping away at trust in our institutions. And now it’s our brains that are being hacked.”

Classical example of projection.
